Is Vista going to have a similar canopy like Salesforce in Cali, cuz according to my fingers it's nowhere close to being proportional to the lower half?

When she is finally fully clothed I may spend an hour or two just staring at the passing reflection of the clouds/sky on that glass. Damn

So in five months only 1/3rd glasses in. I hope they get some help or the outside won't be done until January 2020, good weather or not. It sure is pretty looking.

True but the east and west sides are mostly not done and the core glass is way behind the rest of the north and south side. January 2020 sounds about right at the rate they are going now.

I had such high hopes for Vista...but they really dropped the ball on the glass color and application of gradation. What a missed opportunity.

It's hard to believe that we're looking at the same pics.

It would be impossible for me to disagree with you more strongly.

The glass just interacts with the sun in an interesting way, so if you look at my pics of the south side, the gradation looks smoother and the result is absolutely stunning. Vista is like Mariah Carey in that she is stunning, and has a good side.
